Krupp, the Gun Maker.

In the death of Frederick Krupp, men
toned in our dispatches day or two ago.
Germany lost one of her greatest citizens.
His reputation as the manufacturer of
gigantic steel guns was worldwide His
mandatory at Essen has no equal 1t
covers about one thousand acres, and in
cludes great variety of shops. In these
shops and the mines from which the raw
material is obtained some 10000 people are
employed. 1t is roughly estimated that be-
tween 5000 and 10000 people are dependent
upon this immense establishment for their
daily bread.
Frederick Krupp spent almost his entire
life in building up his great factory He
was only ii years of age when he was
initiated into his fathers business which, at
that time, was comparatively insignificant,
consisting of only few FORCES After the
death of his father he and his mother man
aged the business until 1S4S, when he took
entire possession of it, At that time he was
36 years of age. He had already, however,
showed that he was very gifted man, and
that he was well fitted to manage great
enterprises.
His discovery of method of casting steel
in very large masses brought him fame and
fortune. 1t is said that for years before his
death he had been able to cast in one mass
steel weighing as much as 100000 pounds.
He first began to manufacture steel guns in
1916. They were small affairs, but were SUI
perior to any guns then in existence. He
rapidly increased their size and soon sup
piled all the nations of Europe with gigantic
guns. 1t was with guns of his make that
the Germans did such execution when they
invested Paris. One of his immense guns
was shown at the Philadelphia Centennial
and attracted great attention.
About $1,000 of the employees of the Krupp
factory live at Essen, in cottages built by
Herr Krupp and owned by him. They are
models of their kind and are supplied with
every sanitary arrangement for the preser-
walton of health. In this model community
of workmen there are free hospitals, free
baths, free libraries and other things calcu-
lated TO produce contentment and promote
happiness. OF course other things besides
guns are made in the Krupp factory. A
large variety of useful articles are produced
there, all of which are of the best character,
and, therefore, find ready market.

A drunken man injured the Prohibition
candidate for Governor of Kentucky so
severely that he was obliged to withdraw
from the canvass. 1t is not improbable that
the time will come in Kentucky when
drunken men will be placed where they
cannot injure other men, whether the latter
be candidates for Governor or not.

There is failure in the method of legis-
lation adopted by most of the States. The
pesple never see the laws until after they
are passed. A wise man once said that no
law should be made binding until it had
been thoroughly discussed by the people
To permit such discussion, the laws intro
duced in legislative assemblies should be
published by the public journals. Such
course would give Legislators the opportu-
nifty 10 know the publics will, and would
prevent much bad legislation.

HER Won LADE, of Gelsenheim, one of the

Bismarck wrote him with his own hand as fol-
lows Il envy You your favorite occupations in

RECENTLY the Princess of Wales visited tbe
Wild West show in London. 1t is needless to
say that Marshall p Wilder, in his official cana.
city. was in attendance. Princess Maude of
Wales was very persistent about race between
Buffalo Bill and Marshall p. The result was
that the little man was mounted on n roam
barb and had neck-and-neck race twice
around the arena II is also funny to record
that he won the race by a nose his superior
want of weight giving him the first chance.
The Hon. William Cody smiled, but was not
happy.
ERNEST MICHEL the noted French traveller
who has just made a trip around the world in
30 days, says that this journey may now be
made much more cheaply and comfortably than
n few years ago, and that transportation facili
ties on sea and land have so greatly improved
that even this limited time affords many advan-
tages for study and deliberate sightseeing. AS
for the expenses, he says that the Journey
around the world can be comfortably
made by those who know how
TO travel at a cost of IS a day. For
$1,000, he says, the trip can be made with the
greatest comfort. His estimate. however. does
not leave much margin for the purchase Of
knick-knacks and souvenirs OF the journey.

visible on the countenances. William
Rogers and John Holland had taken
refuge under another tree about twenty

the shock, and when looking up were

of nine of their. party. They soon gave
